Jeremiah 29:17-19
Holman Christian Standard Bible
17 This is what the Lord of Hosts says: “I am about to send against them sword, famine, and plague(A) and will make them like rotten figs that are inedible because they are so bad. 18 I will pursue them with sword, famine, and plague. I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth—a curse and a desolation, an object of scorn and a disgrace among all the nations where I have banished them.(B) 19 I will do this because they have not listened to My words”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“that I sent to them with My servants the prophets time and time again.[a](C) And you too have not listened.” This is the Lord’s declaration.
